About the Book
On Your Bike! is a visually stunning book that truly captures the spirit of cycling in the twenty-first century. Warmly and accessibly written by author and Guardian columnist Matt Seaton, this is a new take on cycling that will appeal to anyone who has ever experienced the thrill and the freedom of the open road.
Elegantly designed, filled with great graphics and illustrations of cycling through the ages, as well as film posters, vintage advertising, and beautiful photography, Seaton takes the reader on a scintillating freewheelin' ride.
Part social history, part practical advice and part manifesto for 21st century cyclists, here is everything you need to know about one of the world's most popular inventions.
Guardian journalist Matt Seaton is an out-and-out bike nut who rides to work during the week, races at the weekend, and has even been known to attend transport policy conferences in between. There's really nothing about bikes and cycling that doesn't interest him.
Based on the success of two years of the Guardian's weekly Two Wheels column (since imitated by other newspapers), this collection, revised and updated, will contain something for all bicycle owners - whether commuter or racer, recreational rider or cycle tourist.
Matt Seaton is the deputy editor of Guardian Unlimited's Comment is Free. He writes regularly for the newspaper and website on cycling and other subjects. He has ghost written an autobiography of Lance Armstrong and has written two books about cycling, a memoir (The Escape Artist) and a general reader (On Your Bike).
